[00:00.89]I'm not in your town to stay
[00:06.28]Said a lady old and gray
[00:10.59]To the warden of the penitentiary
[00:16.67]I'm not in your town to stay
[00:21.78]And I'll soon be on my way
[00:26.11]I'm just here to get
[00:28.49]My baby out of jail
[00:31.82]Oh, warden, I'm just here
[00:34.73]To get my baby out of jail
[00:39.83]I tried to raise my baby right
[00:44.66]I have prayed both day and night
[00:48.44]That he wouldn't follow
[00:51.51]The footsteps of his dad
[00:55.27]I have searched both far and wide
[00:59.61]And I feared that he had died
[01:03.67]But at last I've found
[01:06.08]My baby here in jail
[01:09.61]Oh, warden, at last
[01:13.00]I've found my baby here in jail
[01:17.83]It was just five years today
[01:22.52]When his daddy passed away
[01:25.91]He was found beneath
[01:28.83]The snow, so cold and white
[01:33.28]Twas then I vowed to take his ring
[01:36.82]And his gold watch and his chain
[01:40.81]Then the county laid his daddy in the grave
[01:46.72]Yes, warden, the county laid
[01:50.97]His daddy in the grave
[01:54.27]I will pawn you his watch
[01:59.48]I will pawn you his chain
[02:03.14]I will pawn you my
[02:06.20]Diamond wedding ring
[02:09.78]I will wash all your clothes
[02:14.92]I will scrub all your floors
[02:18.72]If that will get my baby out of jail
[02:24.74]Yes, warden, if that will
[02:28.01]Get my baby out of jail
[02:32.87]Then I heard the warden say
[02:37.28]To the lady old and gray
[02:41.07]I'll go bring your
[02:43.08]Darling baby to your side
[02:47.88]Two iron gates swang wide apart
[02:51.95]She held her darling to her heart
[02:55.64]She kissed her baby boy and then she died
[03:01.24]But smiling, she kissed her baby boy
[03:05.85]And then she died
[03:10.26]I'm not in your town to stay
[03:14.13]Said a lady old and gray
[03:17.72]I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
[03:23.44]Yes, warden, I'm just here
[03:26.64]To get my baby out of jail..
